After the news of Justin's critical illness came out that day, Jessica knew that Susie and Lucas' wedding was not far away.
Sure enough, not long after that day, news spread in LA that Susie and Lucas were getting married, and the wedding date was said to be tentatively set in April.
When Jessica heard the news, she and Terry were just having dinner outside, and two women at the next table were talking about Susie and Lucas.
"Unexpectedly, Mrs. Thomas turned out to be this sudden emergence of Susie."
"What suddenly came out? Don't you know about it? Susie had already started pursuing Lucas ten years ago. She was not in the same university as Lucas, but she would fly back from school every month to see him. At that time, her pursuit of Lucas was a big deal."
"Is it true or not? Then why didn't we see her when Lucas got married later?"
"Who knows, she was probably heartbroken and then went abroad. She stayed there for over four years and only
At that moment, Bobby also saw Jessica and her friends. He happily ran over and exclaimed, "Terry, Jessica!"Jessica blushed a little when she was called by the other person, but their relationship with Terry was well known, so refusing would seem affected. She smiled generously.Terry was clearly pleased with Bobby's enthusiasm, a hint of a smile deepening in his eyes. "What game tonight?"As Bobby led them forward, he explained, "It's a friendly match with Jovany and them! Terry, do you want to show off on the field?"Terry glanced at Jessica and shook his head, "No, Jessica didn't like it when I drove fast."Jessica stood beside him, listening to Terry telling lies with his eyes open.When did she say this?As if knowing what she was thinking, Terry raised his hand and touched the back of her head, saying, "Don't worry, I won't play."Jessica laughed at him and said, "If you want to go and have fun, go ahead. I didn't dislik
Jovany didn't react at first, just listening to Terry's casual tone. He was already holding his breath and was about to throw a punch, but Bobby stopped him in his tracks. "Jovany, don't be impulsive. Terry is right. Jessica is in the car. If he startles her by driving too fast, what will we do?"Jovany paused for a moment, his gaze falling on Jessica, who was being led by Terry. His face, which was originally red with anger, now turned awkwardly red. "I-"Jovany fell silent for a moment, but after a while, he still couldn't accept it. "Then you let Ms. Hall wait here for you, and we'll have another match!"He said, paused for a moment, and added, "If I lose, I'll give you the thing you want!"Terry raised an eyebrow when he heard his words, "Are you sure?"Jovany was somewhat displeased when he heard Terry's words. "Am I someone who can't accept defeat?"Terry smiled and said, "Well, that's not true."He said, looking down at Jessica
Terry made a light click with his tongue and said, "Were you scared?"Jessica glanced at him and said, "I wasn't scared."Just a little shocked.After all, she had never been pressed against a wall and kissed by a man before, despite her age.Looking back now, Jessica still finds it somewhat unbelievable.Terry, surprisingly, didn't actually swallow her.Thinking of this, Jessica couldn't help but laugh.Terry, who was standing beside her, heard her laughter and gently squeezed her palm, asking, "What are you laughing at, sweetheart?""Nothing."He looked at her with a half-smile as if he knew what she was thinking.Jessica felt a little guilty when he looked at her, so she hummed lightly and looked away.Terry didn't say anything else, he opened the car door and let her get in.On the way back, Jessica was a little absent-minded, thinking about what happened six months ago.It was not until a
"Oh my God, Terry, this is so romantic!""Wow, Terry has liked Jessica for so many years! God, I'm so touched, this proposal is really touching!""Boohoo, this dog food fell directly from the sky, and I couldn't even avoid it!"Jessica was led into the crowd by Terry, listening to the comments made by passersby as they watched the short video, and she had an indescribable feeling.She was not actually a high-profile person, but Terry's perfectly balanced high-profile nature made her extremely happy.He did not kneel down in front of so many people to propose to her, but he still gave her a grand and solemn proposal ceremony.The cold wind kept blowing, but she was feeling hot all over.She turned her head and looked at Terry beside her. Her heart felt like it was set on fire by him. Jessica couldn't help but turn back and hug him, affectionately rubbing against him in his arms. "Terry."The surrounding voices were noisy, Terry
Terry held her hand and touched the ring on her ring finger, caressing it gently.After Jessica finished drinking the black sugar ginger water, she felt a bit feverish and her hand was held by him, causing her to break out in a slight sweat.She instinctively pulled her hand back and said, "I'm going to take a shower."She was speaking and was about to walk into the room when Terry brought her back.Jessica fell into his arms, looking into those peach blossom eyes, her heart beating a little faster. "Terry?""Is it okay to hold the engagement banquet next month?"Jessica blushed when she heard his words and replied, "As long as you like it.""Baby was so good."He said, lowered his head and kissed her, with joy in his eyes.Jessica looked at him and couldn't help but laugh, "You're even better, Terry."She said, unable to resist, she raised her hand and touched his eyebrows and eyes, feeling warm inside."I
The news of Terry proposing to Jessica, with such a grand gesture last night, naturally spread throughout the entire Hall Group.Of course, no one was happier than Wendy, as she had been watching Jessica and Terry come along all the way.Although it was only half a year in total, Terry and Jessica went through a lot together.As a complete bystander, Wendy, seeing the current outcome, felt both relieved and touched.Early in the morning, Wendy, who is usually strict and aloof, had a slightly brighter smile on her face. "Good morning, Ms. Hall."Wendy spoke, paused for a moment, and then added with a smile, "Congratulations, Ms. Hall."Jessica smiled generously and said, "Thank you."She responded and pushed open the door to the office, sitting down and remembering the bouquet of flowers from last night. Before Wendy turned to leave, Jessica spoke up again and called her name, "Wendy."Upon hearing her words, Wendy, who was abou
When the alarm clock rang, Jessica reluctantly opened her eyes.Terry was no longer in the room, but the side of the bed was still warm, so he probably hadn't been awake for long.Jessica rubbed her eyes and felt an overwhelming tiredness in her body, making her desperately want to stay in bed.But reason triumphed over laziness, and she got up from the bed after just a few seconds.The blanket on her body slipped off her shoulders, and a chill came over her. Jessica furrowed her brows and instinctively turned her head to take a glance.The dark red mark on that shoulder was very noticeable, and Jessica's heart skipped a beat as she looked at it. The events from last night instantly flashed through her mind, and her face turned red in an instant.Jessica took the clothes from the side and put them on. She went into the bathroom and only then did she realize that there were not only marks on her shoulders, but also on her collarbone.H
As soon as Susie came out of the Hall Group, the smile on her face instantly disappeared.She took out her phone and called Lucas.She had just made the phone call, but it was immediately rejected.Susie chuckled and hit again.This time, Lucas didn't hang up the phone. "Speak!""I was downstairs at the Hall Group."Upon hearing her words, Lucas' eyes darkened and he asked, "What do you want to do?""It's nothing, just giving Ms. Hall an invitation.""Susie, I warned you, don't think that just because Grandpa protects you, you can do whatever you want!"Susie had long anticipated what Lucas would say, but she didn't care at all. She chuckled, holding her phone, and said, "Ms. Hall wishes us a hundred years of happiness and eternal unity."She smiled, paused for a moment, and then said, "Lucas, it seems like you are the one who is being overly sentimental."After saying that, Susie burst into laughter.
Jessica took the beautiful little gift box and didn't immediately open it. She just held it in her hand and turned it around, "On purpose?"How could a female celebrity easily fall in such a situation?"I didn't know."He turned his head and looked at her, "She said sorry and left, and I never saw her again after that."Jessica used her index finger to open the box, and inside were a pair of earrings, which were quite beautiful."What are we going to eat later?"She didn't continue with the previous topic. Terry smirked and said, "Listen, baby."Jessica glanced at him, closed the box, put it in her bag, and slowly started the car, “Let's have roasted chicken, haven't had it in a long time.""Okay."The two of them were delayed for a while in the parking lot. By the time the car left the company, it was almost six o'clock, and people had already started to leave the main entrance of the building early.The ca
Mona had just finished talking to the bartender when she turned her head and saw Jessica being approached by a man. She was about to go over and help chase him away when she heard Jessica say she wanted to open a bottle of Romanee-Conti. Before she could even walk over, the man had already sneakily run away.Mona couldn't help but laugh, "You really know how to scare people. As soon as you open your mouth, it's Romanee-Conti. Who dares to continue talking?"Jessica tapped the cup in front of her and said, "I have touched the ring on my hand three times already, but it still won't come off."Then don't blame her for being impolite.The individual bottle price of Romanee-Conti is not actually very expensive, with prices generally exceeding one hundred thousand for each vintage. However, due to the low production volume, only around 5,500 bottles are produced each year. Nowadays, the winery rarely sells them individually, instead, customers have to order twe
Jessica averted her gaze and said, "It's nothing, I just think you looked beautiful, so I wanted to look at you more."This statement was enough to fool Hannah, as she happily touched her face and said, "I am indeed suitable for sun tanning!""Um."Jessica absentmindedly responded with a sound, then smoothly changed the subject without leaving a trace, “Is Miami fun?""It was so much fun! Let me tell you, my trip to Miami this time was really interesting..."Jessica listened as Hannah mentioned that "little brat" in two out of three sentences. It reminded her of Hannah's struggles a few months ago, when she was going through all sorts of difficulties for Dominic. Jessica couldn't help but hum in response."What happened?"Hannah was excited and blushed as she talked about the fun things she had in Miami.Jessica collected her thoughts and said, "It's nothing, please continue."In the evening, Jessica rarely relaxed
On the first day of the new year, there were many people like Jessica and Terry who wanted to stay at home. After Jessica finished washing her face, Terry's phone started ringing.At this moment, Terry also brought in a cup of warm water.He handed her the warm water and then walked over to answer the phone.Jessica sat down in front of the dressing table, took a few sips of warm water, and began to apply skincare products to her face.Terry quickly hung up the phone, walked up behind her, picked up the comb next to her, and helped her comb her hair. "It was the delivery restaurant calling," he said. "They said it's peak hours now, and today is also a holiday, so the food will be ready 15 minutes later than usual, and it will be delivered 30 minutes later. They asked if we still want the meal, and I told them not to deliver it."Jessica was indeed hungry. "So what are we going to eat?""I just checked, there is some noodles in the fridge. Sh
Terry heard the water stop in the bathroom, smirked, and turned to sit down on the nearby sofa.When Jessica pushed open the bathroom door and walked out, she immediately saw Terry sitting on the sofa.He had only loosened the tie on his body without taking it off, and he had undone the first two buttons of his white shirt. The collar of the shirt appeared loose and casual, hanging down on his chest like that.His messy hair fell on his face, with the light casting shadows on his disheveled strands, obscuring his gaze as if blocking the eye contact he could have made.Jessica looked at the tie casually hanging on his collar, her gaze lifted up and landed perfectly on the rolling Adam's apple.Her face flushed, and she quickly averted her gaze. "I have finished washing."Terry raised an eyebrow, sat up straight from the sofa, and leisurely untied his tie, saying, "If you didn't come out soon, I would have thought my darling fainted inside."
May felt a little sorry when she saw it, "Alright, let me and your dad handle the rest, Terry. You and Jessica go home first."Morgan and May gave each other a large apartment in the city center of South town as an engagement gift. Coincidentally, the apartment was located just one kilometer away from the engagement banquet hotel tonight, very close by. Therefore, May had the cleaning lady prepare the apartment in advance, to serve as their new home.Jessica has a good tolerance for alcohol, so even though she drank quite a bit tonight, she didn't get drunk.Upon hearing May's words, she instinctively turned her head towards the other person and said, "Mom, it's getting late. You and Dad should go back first."She finished speaking and wanted to walk over to have someone accompany May and Morgan back.I just stood for a long time tonight. As soon as I lifted my leg, my feet felt weak, and I swayed a bit. Luckily, Terry next to me had quick eyes and
After Jessica lost her memory, she only met May once, who was a member of the Maddox family. At that time, Quinten was away on a business trip and was not with the Maddox family. However, Jessica later saw a photo of Quinten and noticed that he resembled May, so it was not difficult to recognize him.Although only Quinten from the Maddox family came over to avoid suspicion, who is Quinten?Quinten's presence was enough to prove the Maddox family's importance towards Jessica and Terry's engagement banquet.Moreover, the Maddox family only had one niece, Jessica."Jessica, congratulations.""Thank you, Quinten. Please, this way."At half past seven in the evening, most of the important guests for today's banquet had arrived, and Jessica changed into a new dress.This set of dress was also meticulously customized. When she was backstage, the dress didn't look stunning, but as soon as Jessica stepped onto the stage, the dress shone like i
Jessica glanced at him, averted her gaze, and looked towards Wendy beside her, saying, "Give it to me."Wendy nodded and handed her the file.Seeing Chad still looking at Jessica, Wendy couldn't help but furrow her brows.Chad has been having a tough time recently, and the Sheppard family is also going through a lot, with Mr. Davison being involved.Chad looked at Jessica like this, and she was a little worried. Did Chad know about what Mr. Davison did and want to go after Jessica?After experiencing what happened to Julie, Wendy's vigilance is now very strong.It concerns Jessica, she dared not have any negligence again."Ms. Hall."Jessica was looking down at the documents when she heard Wendy calling her from the side. She raised her head and asked, "What's wrong, Wendy?"Wendy glanced at Chad again. Chad had already returned to his seat and didn't look at Jessica anymore."Just now, Mr. Sheppard..."Jes
Jessica thought Terry was just going for a joyride when he said they were going out for a drive, until he led her to the Video Arcade, and then she understood the true meaning of Terry's words "haven't taken her out to play in a long time."She looked at everything shining inside the Video Arcade and felt somewhat surprised, "You... like playing these?"She had completely forgotten about the past events, so she naturally had no idea why Terry had brought her here.Terry smiled and glanced at her, "Hmm, I liked it."He said he liked it, but that "like" didn't seem like an answer to her question, but rather something he said to her.Jessica raised an eyebrow and pretended not to understand his words, she averted her gaze and said, "I didn't expect that, Mr. Davison.""It's not too late to know now."He exchanged the coins and then took her to play everything.The two of them came out of the Video Arcade and it was already past on
